在特朗普总统发表国情咨文演讲前数小时,众议院议长迈克·约翰逊告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,美国经济走在正确轨道上——但他补充说,通胀尚未”完全解决”。
在周二接受《哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻》采访时,约翰逊还表示,我们不应该对人工智能对就业的影响”大惊小怪”,并敦促伊朗政府”遵循常识”,同时特朗普正在权衡军事行动。
约翰逊称通胀”走上正确轨道”,称关税裁决是”意外”
约翰逊预计特朗普将在周二晚上的演讲中花部分时间吹嘘其经济政绩,包括”我们能够取得成就的令人兴奋的事实”。
近几个月来,总统一直庆祝该国在其上任第一年的经济表现,包括通胀放缓和强劲的劳动力市场。
周二公布的哥伦比亚广播公司新闻民调显示,最近的民意调查显示大多数选民并不那么乐观。只有37%的美国人认为经济状况良好,60%的人认为特朗普把物价和通胀说得比实际情况要好。
约翰逊辩称,当特朗普去年重返白宫时,共和党人”继承了一个真正的烂摊子”,并称之为拜登政府时期经济状况的”灾难”。
“现在,扭转这一趋势需要一段时间,”他说。”你不能在选举后立即按一个开关,一切就会神奇地解决。”
约翰逊指出,通胀正在”逐步下降”。截至1月份的一年期内,消费者价格上涨了2.4%,自2024年年中以来,通胀率一直稳定在3%或以下——远低于2022年年中9.1%的峰值。
“它还没有完全解决,但我们正走上正确的轨道,”议长说。
他还指出,许多美国家庭将从特朗普支持的去年夏天通过的”庞大、美好的法案”中获得税收减免。
但特朗普经济议程的核心部分——关税——上周遭遇重大法律挫折,最高法院裁定总统的许多大规模全球进口关税不合法。特朗普称这一决定是”耻辱”,并迅速宣布根据不同的法律授权实施新的临时全球关税。
除非国会采取行动延长这些新关税,否则它们将在150天后到期。众议院共和党人在特朗普的贸易战略上存在分歧,一些共和党议员本月早些时候与民主党人一起投票支持削减部分关税。
约翰逊称最高法院的裁决是”一个意外”和”总统的极大不满”,并说”无可争辩的是,总统的贸易政策方法对国家有利”。他指出特朗普与许多美国贸易伙伴达成的贸易协议。
关税存在争议:特朗普认为它们是重振美国制造业和反击外国不公平贸易做法所必需的,但许多经济学家警告说,它们将导致经济增长放缓,因为进口商将成本转嫁给消费者,从而推高价格。
根据美国经济分析局的数据,去年美国进口的商品比出口多1.24万亿美元,这是有记录以来最宽的商品贸易逆差。过去一年,制造业就业人数略有下降。
约翰逊对这些数据提出异议,并表示:”美国在很多方面都回来了,经济在这方面处于领先地位。我们是否达到了我们需要的水平?没有。但我们是否走在正确的轨道上?绝对是。这正是与拜登经济四年期间完全相反的情况。”
议长表示,他预计总统将强调”我们在这方面需要耐心。再说一次,你不能在选举后立即按一个开关,在一夜之间解决所有问题。”
约翰逊:”我们不应该对人工智能感到恐慌”
对许多美国人来说,人工智能对经济的潜在影响是一个长期的压力源。本月早些时候的哥伦比亚广播公司新闻民调显示,约62%的美国成年人预计人工智能会减少就业机会。与此同时,许多人工智能支持者认为,这项技术可能通过提高工人生产率引发经济繁荣。
约翰逊说,”我们不应该对人工智能感到恐慌”,并预测美国将在任何干扰中找到一条出路。
“我们对此非常警惕,非常清醒,”他说。”但我们不担心。我们没有恐惧。我们是一个伟大的国家。我们会解决这个问题,我们会领先于中国。”
他还表示,他希望国会制定一个关于人工智能安全规则的”联邦框架”,而不是允许各州各自制定(有时相互冲突)的法规,形成”50州拼凑”的局面。特朗普政府试图阻止某些州级的人工智能规则。
议长支持特朗普的移民政策,但称存在”执法过于激进”的看法
去年特朗普上任时,移民是他最受欢迎的问题之一,大多数选民支持他的大规模驱逐努力。过去一年,美国与墨西哥边境的非法越境人数大幅下降,移民拘留人数大幅增加。
但近几个月来,公众舆论发生了转变,特别是考虑到明尼阿波利斯的镇压事件,现在更多的美国人担心移民官员做得太过分。
当被问及移民方面的民意调查时,约翰逊说”外界有一种看法,认为执法行动在某种程度上过于激进。但总统的意图一直是清除该国的危险非法犯罪者。他们已经实现了这一点。”
约翰逊赞扬了白宫边境负责人汤姆·霍曼,他在联邦特工枪杀两名美国公民引发两党反对后,被派去接管明尼阿波利斯的移民行动。霍曼本月早些时候开始在该市逐步减少激增的移民。
“我认为汤姆·霍曼做得很好,例如,当他进入明尼阿波利斯时,他为局势带来了平静,并恢复了常识,”约翰逊说。
约翰逊希望伊朗政权将”遵循常识”
今年的国情咨文将在伊朗的外交争夺战中举行。特朗普正在权衡是否对伊朗发动军事打击,除非伊朗同意限制其核计划。
当被问及是否会支持打击伊朗时,约翰逊说总统”强调了外交解决方案的必要性”,并”我们希望伊朗领导人能遵循常识”。他补充说,尽管如此,他不认为美国会有地面部队。
他说,”中东的稳定当然符合美国的利益”,称伊朗是该地区的”伟大煽动者”和”全球恐怖组织的支持者”。
“他们是一个邪恶的政权,他们仇恨美国,他们想杀死所有美国人,”约翰逊说。”他们是我们公开的敌人。如果他们被消灭,如果情况发生改变,这将有利于美国,有利于世界。”
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for “patience” on economy: “You don’t flip a switch…and it all just is fixed magically”
February 24, 2026 / 5:41 PM EST / CBS News
Hours before President Trump’s State of the Union address, House Speaker Mike Johnson told CBS News the U.S. economy is on the right track — but he added that inflation has not been “completely fixed yet.”
In an interview Tuesday with “CBS Evening News,” Johnson also argued “we shouldn’t freak out” about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs and urged the Iranian government to “follow common sense” as Mr. Trump weighs military action.
Johnson says inflation is “on the right trajectory,” calls tariff ruling a “surprise”
Johnson expects Mr. Trump to spend part of his speech Tuesday night touting his economic record, including “the exciting facts about what we’ve been able to accomplish.”
In recent months, the president has celebrated the country’s economic performance in his first year on the job, including a slowdown in inflation and a strong labor market.
Recent polls show most voters aren’t so optimistic. Just 37% of Americans feel that the state of the economy is good, and 60% feel that Mr. Trump makes prices and inflation sound better than they actually are, according to a CBS News survey released Tuesday.
Johnson argued that Republicans “inherited a real mess” when Mr. Trump returned to office last year, calling the state of the economy a “disaster” during the Biden administration.
“Now, it takes a while to reverse that trend,” he said. “You don’t flip a switch right after the election and it all just is fixed magically.”
Johnson noted that inflation is “gradually coming down.” Consumer prices rose 2.4% in the yearlong period ending in January, and inflation has consistently hovered at 3% or below since mid-2024 — well below its peak of 9.1% in mid-2022.
“It’s not completely fixed yet, but we are on the right trajectory,” the speaker said.
He also pointed to the tax savings that many U.S. households will draw from the Trump-backed “big, beautiful bill” that passed last summer.
But a core part of Mr. Trump’s economic agenda — tariffs — faced a major legal setback last week, when the Supreme Court ruled that many of the president’s sweeping global import duties are unlawful. Mr. Trump called the decision an “embarrassment” and quickly announced new temporary global tariffs under a different legal authority.
Those new tariffs expire in 150 days unless Congress takes action to extend them. House Republicans are divided on Mr. Trump’s trade strategy, with some GOP lawmakers joining with Democrats to vote in favor of rolling back some of the tariffs earlier this month.
Johnson called the high court’s ruling “a surprise” and “a great irritation to the president,” and said it’s “inarguable that the president’s approach to trade policy has worked for the country.” He pointed to the trade deals that Mr. Trump has cut with many U.S. trading partners.
Tariffs are controversial: Mr. Trump argues they’re necessary to revive U.S. manufacturing and hit back against unfair trade practices by foreign countries, but many economists warn they will lead to slower economic growth and higher prices as importers pass the cost on to consumers.
Last year, the U.S. imported $1.24 trillion more goods than it exported, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, marking the widest trade deficit for goods on record. And manufacturing employment has shrunk slightly over the last year.
Johnson disputed those figures, and said: “America is back in many ways, and the economy is leading on that. Are we where we need to be? No. But are we on the right trajectory? Absolutely. It’s an exact reversal of what we had under four years of Bidenomics.”
The speaker said he expects the president to emphasize “that we need patience on this. Again, you don’t flip a switch after an election and fix everything overnight.”
Johnson: “We shouldn’t freak out” about AI
For many Americans, the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the economy is a longer-term stressor. Some 62% of U.S. adults said in a CBS News poll earlier this month that they expect AI to decrease the availability of jobs. Meanwhile, many AI proponents believe the technology could trigger an economic boom by boosting worker productivity.
Johnson said “we shouldn’t freak out” about AI, predicting the U.S. will find a path through any disruptions.
“We’re very vigilant about this, very sober-minded,” he said. “But we don’t worry. We’re not in fear. We are [a] great country. We’ll figure this out, and we will stay ahead of China.”
He also said he wants Congress to work on a “federal framework” for AI safety rules, rather than allowing a “50-state patchwork” of individual — and sometimes conflicting — regulations. The Trump administration has sought to block certain state-level AI rules.
Speaker backs Trump on immigration, but says there’s a “perception” that enforcement was “overzealous”
When Mr. Trump entered office last year, immigration was one of his most favorable issues, with most voters backing his mass deportation efforts. Illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have plummeted over the last year, and the number of immigration detainees has jumped.
But public opinion has turned in recent months, particularly in light of a crackdown in Minneapolis, with more Americans now worried that immigration agents are going too far.
Asked about polling on immigration, Johnson said “there’s a perception out there that it was overzealous, in some respect. But the president’s intention has always been to rid the country of dangerous criminal illegals. That’s what they’ve accomplished.”
Johnson lauded White House border czar Tom Homan, who was dispatched to take over the Minneapolis immigration operation after the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens by federal agents drew bipartisan pushback. Homan began winding down the surge in the city earlier this month.
“I think Tom Homan has done a great job, when he went into Minneapolis, for example, and he brought calm to the situation, and restored common sense,” Johnson siad.
Johnson hopes Iranian regime will “follow common sense”
This year’s State of the Union will take place amid a diplomatic scramble over Iran. Mr. Trump is weighing military strikes against Iran unless the country agrees to curb its nuclear program.
Asked if he would support striking Iran, Johnson said the president has “emphasized the need for a diplomatic solution,” and “we’re hopeful that the leaders of Iran will follow common sense.” He added that he doesn’t anticipate U.S. forces on the ground, though.
He said a “stabilized region in the Middle East is certainly in America’s interest,” calling Iran “the great agitator” in the area and a “sponsor of terrorist organizations around the world.”
“They’re an evil regime, they hate America, they would like to kill all Americans,” Johnson said. “They are an avowed enemy of us. If they were taken out, if that was changed, it would benefit America, it would benefit the world.”
